Timber Care Tips

Wood is a natural product and can be susceptible to warping and twisting especially during dry spells when the timber dries too quickly which may cause small splits, commonly known as shakes, extreme weather such as high winds can also cause substantial damage but installing your product correctly and good maintenance can go a long way to minimising such risks.

Keep your fencing in good condition by following these four simple steps:

When attaching panels to posts. Ensure the bottom of the panel is at least 30mm above the ground.

Wood is a natural product and can be susceptible to warping and twisting especially during dry spells. Watering down regularly can help the fence return to its natural shape when the humidity rises.

Regularly check that your fence posts and panels are secure, so long as they are secure this will help to reduce damage from flexing in windy conditions.

Treat your fence annually with a good quality non-creosote preservative.
